During this introductory workshop, you will learn how to collage with textiles to create meaningful stitched artworks to gift to others (or to keep for yourself.)

Using remnants, or second-hand clothes and cloth, Julius invites you to create objects as memories with intention by exploring shape, colour and form. Some inspirational prompts will be provided to help guide you as you create and stitch, or be inspired by your surroundings, photos or object you might carry with you.

Julius will teach you how to use a range of hand stitching techniques to create a unique composition that you will then hand quilt and bind to turn into a small A4 sized artwork. The art of stitching is a slow meditative process and if you wish to take time to work on your composition participants are welcome to finish at home and some helpful guides will be provided for you to take away.
